I said she runs the floor, not owns it. In the sense she would be the floor manager, so below the store manager.

I just don't see how making kids do something, that it's quite obvious majority of them are just going to do to get done, meaning copy someone else's, convince their parents to give them the answers [in those insanely sly kids ways] or even just do stuff on a calculator/online. That's not really reinforcing what they've learned?
Because that's not how it works for everyone? And if copying nullifies homework, why not nullify schoolwork too, as kids copy all the time. I'm not being funny, but the whole of school until you're aiming for a specific career is "just getting it done to get it done." Besides, they are still doing the homework and even if they hate it they reinforce how it's done. Copiers will see how to get the right answer too, in some cases.
